Sachtler aktiv6 FT75 MS - aktiv6 Fluid Head with Flowtech 75 MS Carbon Fiber Tripod and Mid-Level Spreader in Black Carrying Bag

The Sachtler aktiv6 FT75 MS tripod system combines the innovative aktiv6 fluid head with the versatile Flowtech 75 MS carbon fiber tripod, equipped with a mid-level spreader, to provide a lightweight, highly stable solution for professional videography. This tripod system is designed for quick setup, precise movements, and robust support for camera rigs weighing up to 17.6 lbs, making it ideal for use with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and small camcorders. The system includes the aktiv6 fluid head with SpeedLevel technology, the Flowtech 75 MS tripod with carbon fiber legs, and a padded carrying bag for easy transport.

The aktiv6 fluid head is at the heart of this system, featuring Sachtler's cutting-edge SpeedLevel technology, which significantly reduces the time needed for mounting and leveling your camera rig. This system replaces the traditional tie-down knob with a clamp and stud mechanism, making it easier than ever to set up your camera. With a 75mm ball for quick leveling and the ability to tilt your camera from -70° to +90°, the aktiv6 head offers incredible flexibility. The head's 15-step counterbalance and three independent drag settings for both pan and tilt ensure precise control and smooth movement, even with heavy camera rigs. The illuminated PrismBubble level is another key feature, providing visibility from both the side and top of the head, making it easier to achieve perfect leveling, even in low-light conditions.

The Flowtech 75 MS carbon fiber tripod offers exceptional torsional rigidity, allowing for smooth, stable panning and tilting. Weighing just under 7 lbs, the tripod can support up to 44 lbs, making it perfect for the aktiv6 fluid head and a wide variety of camera setups. The tripod's two-stage, three-section design provides a height range of 24.8 inches to 61.81 inches when using the mid-level spreader, offering plenty of flexibility for various shooting environments. The independent leg spread allows each leg to extend or retract individually, offering easy adaptability on uneven terrain. The tripod's legs also feature quick clamping locks that secure each section in place for a sturdy and secure setup. The dual spiked feet provide excellent grip on soft ground, and the removable rubber feet allow for use on delicate surfaces like floors or carpets.

The included mid-level spreader adds further stability by keeping the tripod legs evenly spaced and helping maintain the tripod's rigidity, particularly in rough and uneven terrains. The spreader is easy to attach and adjust, making setup quick and straightforward. The spreader's arms can be extended to accommodate a wide range of leg positions, giving you full control over your shot composition.

The system also comes with a durable padded carrying bag made from high-density 900D fabric that is both flame retardant and water-resistant, ensuring that your gear stays protected during transport. The bag's foam-lined interior provides cushioning against bumps and shocks, while the full-length zipper allows easy access to your equipment. For transport, the bag features a handgrip and optional shoulder strap, making it easy to carry. The clear plastic window allows you to label the bag for easy identification during travel.

This complete Sachtler aktiv6 FT75 MS tripod system is designed for professionals who need a portable, reliable, and versatile setup that delivers top-tier performance in any shooting environment. Whether you're shooting on location, in the studio, or in challenging conditions, this tripod system ensures stability, precision, and ease of use at every step.
